Mislintat has been Borussia Dortmund's chief scout since 2009. His department is credited with successfully negotiating the transfers of Shinji Kagawa, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raphael Guerreiro and Ousmane Dembele, making the 43-year-old one of the most respected scouts in professional football.

But according to Sport Bild, his relationship with Thomas Tuchel began to turn sour early in 2016 as the Dortmund manager began to take issue with Mislintat's sloppy appearance and unprofessional attitude around the training ground and stadium, where he is allegedly often seen smoking.

The rift intensified when Mislintat failed to finalize the widely reported transfer of highly-rated Atletico Madrid youngster Oliver Torres this summer – the 21-year-old midfielder going on loan to FC Porto instead. The two men haven't spoken since.

The falling out is not understood to adversely affect day-to-day operations in Dortmund since Mislintat's department is answerable to sporting director Michael Zorc rather than Tuchel himself.

Letting Reschke go before finding his replacement was another masterpiece of smartness from Bayern MGT. Joking aside, l hope our MGT return to real world as soon as possible, otherwise we are dead with this guys. l see a potential Galliani who destroyed Milan for 10 years, in them.

Please note Sporting Director Hasan Salihamdzic not only has confirmed the role of Chief Scout has been vested upon Michael Resche's pupil but also that he has refused to follow Resche to VfB Stuttgart. His name? Marco Neppe.

Bayern head of Sporting matters has also confirmed Neppe is in charge of a new, improved and expanded network of scout in the top five leagues.

With these news please note this thread will be locked and you may continue to follow the Chief Scout updates in his own thread.
